The "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act" (H.R. 734) was legislation aimed at amending Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 to generally prohibit school athletic programs from allowing individuals whose biological sex at birth was male to participate in programs designated for women or girls. The key components of the bill include:

Defining sex based on an individual's reproductive biology and genetics at birth.
Not prohibiting males from training or practicing with female teams if it doesn't deprive females of opportunities.
